The latest update for Warzone 2 and MW2 brings a slew of weapon-balancing changes and bug fixes. Several weapons, like the Minibak, Vaznev-9k, and Lachmann Shroud SMGs, have received close-range damage nerfs while boosting damage for mid- and long-range weapons like the PDSW 528, Fennec 45, and BAS-P.While it is uncertain how much this will affect the use case, there's a general shift from close-quarters combat to longer-range fights. With Season 6's haunting event going on in between MW3 Beta and release early next month, players are surely having a great time.With that being said, let's take a closer look at the Warzone 2 and MW2
